If it’s hot outside, we can raise the price of water and ice cream.

If people are starving after a natural disaster, we can raise the price of everything because they're desperate and have no alternatives.

Yea I ran into the same thing about 2 months ago, haven't even gone back to check it. https://lemmy.world/post/14769888

I'd just be grateful you found Lemmy. I suspect Reddit is mostly bot spam at this point hidden as real users. Sucks that so many old posts are now being gatekept, a pinnacle of the real enshittification that's happening right now.

In our beautiful current year of 2024 the fucker is running again after being impeached twice, after losing in 2020, after becoming a convicted felon.

Whaling has caused irreparable harm to ocean ecosystems. We only recently learned that whales contribute largely to carbon sequestration due to what you wrote. Again, people who dismiss iron fertilization as a legitimate solution are a major concern. We need solutions to be implemented NOW.

We are already geoengineering whether we like it or not. We just aren't good at it, and we're heating up the climate rapidly. Look at how much carbon dioxide we've put into the atmosphere. We don't have a choice, doing nothing isn't an option, hoping people stop being greedy is not an option.

What you don't seem to understand is that we don't have time for that. Unfortunately rewilding will not happen, human greed is too strong, and everyone wants their own back yard. We need rapid and effective ways to get carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere NOW, and iron fertilization may be able to start that process. People can't even stop eating beef for fucks sake, and we know that's destroying the Amazon rainforest.

it has been discussed to death with no new arguments on either side

And alas, we continue to put more CO2 into the air and the planet keeps warming.

Amazing how you get downvoted with no reply even though your comment is the truth. People who claim to be environmentalists who are also against nuclear energy are seriously dumb.

The irony is that your negative comment ultimately supports them doing so because you're against any solution, but you do not bring any viable alternative into the discussion. Just stopping carbon emissions isn't enough, the can of worms is wide open, we need active solutions to sequester carbon dioxide rapidly.

That what conservatives ultimately want, the working poor to stay in their place.
